"Dear Soaring Adventures,
I am writing to let you know how absolutely wonderful our balloon ride experience was. Unfortunately, it took
approximately three years to fulfill. The three years is the reason for this letter. Soaring Adventures was very
accommodating to continue to extend the ride certificate though it never occurred to me it would take this long to get my balloon ride.
We scheduled our balloon ride on many different dates, even in different states, and seasons. The weather
might have been a factor for two of the cancellations one in Las Vegas and one in PA. David Robinson of
Windjammer Balloon Flights in the York/Lancaster, PA area had the most cancellations with two out of three.
I can't imagine any of them being for weather conditions even though that's what he claimed each time! I
absolutely DID NOT believe him. It's too easy to get detailed weather reports/conditions on the internet. I WILL NOT recommend him to anyone.
The second company we reserved with was located in Las Vegas. We only booked there on one occasion and
the weather could have been a factor. I only had one experience with them, so I remain neutral with my opinion of them.
The third company/person we booked with and booked only one time, was Balloons Unlimited, Inc. Robert
Thomas. We booked and FINALLY flew! It was an excellent experience with an excellent pilot! I WILL
recommend him to anyone in this area.
I feel some of these companies, list with Soaring Adventures to keep their baskets full/
their balloons flying when a full-paying person doesn't book directly with them. I know they get less money per
person through Soaring Adventures so there isn't really an incentive for them to keep the reservation.
I'm sure I was lied to. It made me feel like a second class citizen.
In addition, when I purchased the certificate from you three years ago, I had a very secure job and the economy
was going well. By the time our flight actually materialized,the economy nosedived,I lost my job and the
price of the ride increased so I was required to pay an additional $50 for the flight. I,by NO MEANS, could
comfortably afford this! I paid the $50 instead of losing the hundreds, I already paid.
In closing, I feel that Soaring Adventures should ask their clients for an evaluation of their experience, from
certificate purchase to completion of the balloon ride, and when someone is consistently complained about,they should be dropped from your list!
Sincerely,
Nancy F.DePriest

I just wanted to say thank you for allowing Karen and I the ballooning experience of a lifetime. We truly enjoyed the ride and will one day hopefully do it again. It will be a story to tell over and over again. I am glad Karen said “yes” to the proposal and thank you for the warm wishes on our future together.
Bob and Kerry, thank you for putting up with my numerous phone calls and phone tag over the past few weeks…not to mention allowing us a spot on another wise full trip this past Saturday night. I will recommend you and your company for anyone I know looking for the same experience you afforded us. I hope you all were able to get some much needed rest the past day or so. Until next time… take care and have a great day.
Sincerely,
Jason Renard"
